Pumpkin Troop

Each year, we do elaborate pumpkin carving...one pumpkin for each member of the family. So we had FOUR fat pumpkins to carve this year. Below are their glowing faces. The smiling one is Peyton's, the hoot owl is Andrew's, the stack-o-lantern's is mine, and the creepy flaming head is Nick's. It's an annual tradition we look forward to. It was so much fun this year!

Nick's Aunt

Very sadly, Nick's aunt passed away early this morning. The viewing is Sunday from 2:00-4:00 with the funeral immediately following. Please keep us in your prayers.

Prayer Request

Nick's aunt, Janet Scott, was hospitalized this week. She was put on a ventilator sometime in the middle of the night. The family is waiting to talk to the doctor this morning and will decide what to do from there. The outlook is not good; she is medically sedated and the doctors do not expect her to recover. She has battled with illness for many years now but is still young (50, I think.) Please keep them in your prayers.

Sounds about like Peyton...

So last night, Peyton was running around like a wild monkey. She had stripped down to her undies (yes, she's an exhibitionist) and was all over the living room like a spinning top. In the midst of the madness, I ask her, "Girl, what is the matter with you?" Her reply: "Momma, I'm just allergic to myself!"

WHERE DO THEY COME UP WITH THESE THINGS? I thought I was going to wet my pants laughing at her. It sounds about like something only Peyton could come up with...

Andrew's First Tooth

Don't get used to this smile, because it's about to change. Yes, that's right! Andrew has his first tooth. You can't see it from afar, but it's there. It's his lower, right-of-center tooth. I can't believe he's growing up so fast.
